>>1932083I use a mixture of boiled linseed oil and turpentine. That handle in particular is one that I salvaged off of an old Marshall Wells. I never stain any of my handles, they darken naturally over time, that one being a good example. You can see the contrast between my new handles, the salvaged ones (I shave them down for hammer or hatchet handles if they can't be reused), and the NOS ones.
